Chili

If you are someone who believes whole-heartedly in the virtue of soaking beans overnight for your chili then this is not the recipe for you. If, however, you are a huge fan of chili and a fan of the convenience of the can then give this a try!

CHILI

1 lb hamburger
1 Cup chopped onion
1/2 Cup chopped bell pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 Can stewed tomatoes (14 1/2 oz size)
1 15 oz can Kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 can black beans
1 8 oz tomato sauce
2 to 3 tsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp. dried basil, crushed
1/4 tsp. pepper

DIRECTIONS:

Brown hamburger with onion, bell peppers and garlic until meat is brown and onion is tender. Drain fat. In crockpot put undrained tomatoes, kidney beans, black beans, tomato sauce, chili powder, basil and pepper. Add hamburger mixture. Cook in crockpot on high for 4-5 hours or low 6-8 hours. This can also be done on the stove top.

I usually double this recipe (except for the hamburger) to have enough for my family of 6 with enough for some leftovers.
